A third iPhone is rumoured to feature a 6.1-inch LCD screen, and retail for less than its OLED counterparts.

The addition of a golden finish has been circulating online since April, when it surfaced that Apple had filed information about the then-forthcoming iPhone X with the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC), which it illustrated with photographs of a gold iPhone X.

It is unknown whether Apple was planning to release a golden version back in November, when the iPhone X went on sale, and was forced to delay its release due to manufacturing difficulties, or decided against releasing it altogether. This time round, it seems pretty reasonable to expect Apple will add gold to the current black and white finishes.
